Te Ika a Māui - Mahi Toi

Harakeke has been really fasinated by the pūrākau about how Mauī fished up a land. We have read the book by Peter Gossage so many times - every day for some weeks as chosen by the tamariki as we come inside after lunch. Tamariki have had so many questions about what is described in this book - as well as the art.

Harakeke created their own artwork in response to their interest. We have worked on this over a number of days. Only a picture of each tamaiti features instead of Mauī. We have some pretty amazing tamariki in Harakeke - every bit as clever as Mauī.

Harakeke shared their mahi toi with the kura at Hui-a-Kura.
